We aren’t usually big on the idea of the illicit smuggling of goods into clubs or sporting venues but we feel it is our duty to inform you of a jacket which turns you into a walking drinks cabinet.

It used to be that if you wanted to beat the drinking ban or avoid paying big prices you had to employ a creative use of headwear or a false heel on one of your shoes. However, life is going to get a lot easier for you from now on.

This is because the skateboarding gear manufacturer Enjoi has come up with a jacket which lets you surreptitiously carry in enough alcoholic beverages to leave a mule flat on its back. Their beer hunter jacket includes big cooler pockets where you could fit in a few cans or even a couple of cheeky bottles of something fruity.

Zip Up and Crack Open a Bottle

The photos of someone wearing one while litres of alcohol are sloshing about inside actually don’t look bad; at least he doesn’t have a can shaped lump sticking out of his gut. The parts of the coat which don’t have spaces for drinks in them are puffed out, so that the whole thing looks uniform and normal. Only the zipper which doubles as a bottle opener gives a clue as to the wearer’s plans for the evening.

It costs $105 and the only problem we can think of is that the bouncers get might a bit suspicious if you and all of your mates all turn up with exactly the same jackets on every night.
